What US Tax Rate Will I Be Charged on My Bookvault Order?

There isn't one fixed tax rate for Bookvault orders in the US.

The rate can vary between states and even between different locations within the same state, as state and local taxes can combine.

What is the typical tax rate?

As a general guide, the tax rate tends to be around 6–7%, although the actual amount charged to your order may be higher or lower.

Some locations may have no applicable tax, while in rarer cases the combined rate can exceed 10%.

What determines the tax rate on my order?

The applicable rate is based on the destination of the books.

For example, if you place an order but have the books delivered directly to a customer in another state, the relevant tax rate is based on the delivery destination rather than your own location.

Does tax apply to every Bookvault product or service?

Not necessarily.

Whether tax applies can also depend on the type of product or service being purchased. For example, the tax treatment of services such as a Bookvault subscription can differ depending on the individual state's policies.

How does Bookvault calculate the correct rate?

Bookvault works with Avalara to determine the appropriate tax. The calculation takes into account the:

• Product type
• Location
• Nature of the customer

This allows the appropriate rate to be applied to the transaction.
